He had yet to learn that Bourke's habits were those of an Englishman, who never goes to bed without leaving all his pocket-money in plain sight and carefully catalogued in his memory.... One morning in the spring of 1904 Marcel served Bourke his last breakfast at Troyon's.
Gallery 62, adjoining 92, shows the best example of Barbizon work, in Troyon's beautiful "Landscape and Cattle" on wall C. On wall A is a small painting, interesting but not characteristic, by Millet, who influenced the whole world of art toward sincerity.
Bannon, your father ... I could believe it was his order that killed poor Roddy!" There could be no doubting her horrified and half-incredulous surprise. "Roddy?" she iterated in a whisper almost inaudible, with face fast blanching. "Roddy !" "Inspector Roddy of Scotland Yard," he told her mercilessly, "was murdered in his sleep last night at Troyon's.
What had been the message of those eyes, flashed down the dimly lighted length of that corridor at Troyon's, ere she vanished? Adieu? Or au revoir? ... She had termed him, naively enough, and a gentleman. But if she knew suspected even dreamed that he was what he was?... He shook his head again, but now impatiently, with a scowl and a grumble: "What's the matter with me anyway?
Lanyard's first destination was that convenient little rez-de-chaussee apartment near the Trocadero, at the junction of the rue Roget and the avenue de l'Alma; but his way thither was so roundabout that the best part of an hour was required for what might have been less than a twenty-minute taxicab course direct from Troyon's. It was past one when he arrived, afoot, at the corner.
What he is to-day, that was I in mine omnibus, scullion, valet-de-chambre, butt and scapegoat-in-general to the establishment, scavenger of food that no one else would eat.... I suffered there, at Troyon's." "You, sir?" Karslake exclaimed in astonishment. "Whoever would have thought that you ... How did you escape?"
But you make me feel ashamed!" "I know," agreed Lanyard, depreciatory; "but that's the way I am a little devil you really can't trust me! Adieu, Monsieur le Comte." "Au revoir, monsieur!" Lanyard saw the car round the corner before turning to the entrance of Troyon's, keeping his weather-eye alert the while.
My hair was very heavy and long, and I had a chance to sit in a window at Troyon's where they were advertising a hair tonic and " Rotten? Of course it was. I'd no business to gabble, and just because you and your new job, Mag, came to my mind at that minute, there I went putting my foot in it. Moriway laughed. I didn't like the sound of his laugh. "Your reader is versatile, Mr. Latimer," he said.
And stimulated by her unquestionable interest and sympathy, he did talk without reserve of old Troyon's and its drudge, Marcel; of Bourke and his wanderings; of the education of the Lone Wolf and his career, less in pride than in relief that it was ended; of the future he must achieve for himself.
Better still, in Jules Breton's "The Vintage" and Troyon's "Landscape and Cattle" it has two of the noblest paintings to be seen in the entire Palace, pictures that show these great masters at their best. The gallery contains no more triumphant piece of Impressionism than the saucy "Lady in Pink" by the Russian, Nicholas Fechin.
